Can you elaborate on this? In line 15, old is assigned; this applies
to all mutex types except plain boring normal (without PI and without
robust). The condition in line 33 can only be true if type is nonzero
(not plain boring normal mutex) so I don't see any way it can be used
uninitialized in line 34. Is your report based on your own reading or
a static analysis tool?
